Carrabelle Boat Club Canal - .59 Low Tide

Post by Will_Fish_4_Food »

I have only used the boat club to put in once and recall it was pretty shallow getting out to the C-Belle River. Going out tomorrow with someone who keeps their boat there. Anybody know if it's possible at dead low tide to get out of there? Tomorrow is looking pretty low about the time we would get down there.

If there is any hint of a north or NE wind you can forget it except for a skiff. Even then you may be pushing it.

Oh boy....that combined with a stubborn captain could make for an interesting morning.

Thanks Tom.

For future reference...you can get out of there at this tide (minimal wind) at least in a 23 center console barely, and I mean barely. You however can't get out in a grady cuddy cabin, or at least the one in front of us did not. There was no where near enough water to try and pull them off the bottom.

The other lesson learned is stand back when someone hits the fish grinder at their cleaning station :evil:
